Hatyai Bak Kut Teh: Savor the Spicy Hot Soup That mr.hotsia Never Misses

When talking about Hatyai, Songkhla Province, as a traveler and foodie likemr.hotsiaone thing I must say is a “must-eat specialty” which isBak Kut Tehor Chinese herbal pork rib soup. There are many great shops in this city to choose from, each with their own secret recipe passed down through generations. The aroma of Chinese herbs simmered to a rich flavor combined with the tenderness of pork ribs and pork offal makes the soup so delicious you can’t stop sipping.

The last time I traveled to Hatyai, I intended to trace the traditional Bak Kut Teh flavors that are rare in big cities. I must say this experience helped me understand the unique southern cuisine that perfectly blends Chinese influences. Bak Kut Teh here is not just ordinary soup but a gateway to the cultural stories of southern locals and overseas Chinese living in Songkhla.

The hot soup that woke me up early in Hatyai

Early morning in Hatyai, I wandered through an old market full of local food stalls. One of the shops that impressed me greatly was a Bak Kut Teh place located in a small alley near Kim Yong Market. The fragrant aroma of herbal soup immediately made my stomach growl. The broth was rich but not bitter, the pork ribs tender enough to melt in the mouth, and the offal clean without any unpleasant smell.

Speaking of Bak Kut Teh in Hatyai, each shop has its own unique recipe. Some focus on a slightly spicy broth, some simmer to achieve a sweet and mellow herbal flavor, and some offer side dishes like tofu puffs or quail eggs to enhance the taste.

After eating Bak Kut Teh, continue to stroll around Kim Yong Market

After enjoying the hot Bak Kut Teh, I leisurely walked to Kim Yong Market, a famous market in Hatyai frequented by locals and tourists alike. Besides food, there are plenty of souvenirs from Songkhla to choose from, including the famous radish cake and fresh dried seafood. If you want to taste other local dishes, I recommend tryingPork Blood Soup at Kim Yong Market, Hatyaiwhich is equally delicious.
